Dynaniters Arrested.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Feb. 16.--The po-
lice to-day arrested j. +. Stiles and ii,
C. Dean, who are alleged to be the per-
petrators of the recent dynamite out
RACES on the Sutter and Geary streets
cable lines. The former was captured
early this morning while on his way to
put dynamite ON the track. The po-
lice had spotted him and were shadow
ing his house, 4l2 Larkin street. lie
emerged therefrom at o'clock this
morning and was closely followed by
four detectives, who ordered him to
stop but he continued and ten shots
were fired after him. He was finally
captured by running into the arms of II
policeman coming from the Opposite
direction. While fleeing he was seen
to throw something over fence into
the garden of II residence. This was
recovered and proved to be dyna-
mite bomb already to be placed on the
car track. A quantity Of dynamite
and caps were also found on his per-
son and materials for making bombs
were later found in his house.
Dean was suspected by the
police of being implicated in
the dynamite plots and Immediately
after Stiles arrest search was
made in Deanc's house, so Fourth street
A quantity of dynamite and other
bomb material was found and he was
arrested. stiles claims that he had
no intention of placing the dynamite
on track, but had left for the house
of friend, one Williams, who had
agreed to accompany and assist. He
added that it was his intention to OBJ
tain sufficient evidence against Will
liams to convict him of the crime and
then expose him to the authorities
and gain the reward offered for the
apprehension of dynamiters. The po-
lice, however, place no faith in Stiles
story. Dean denies all knowledge of
dynamite plots and confesses utter ig-
norance regarding how the bomb ma
tcrial found IN his house got there.
Both are striking men.

THE figures show that the United
States spends larger sum for the
support of its disabled soldiers than
all of the principle powers put to-
gether. The cause for which our
bldiers fought was a just one. They
b not write beauty or booty on
:Nkeir flags, but went to war because
they loved their country and its flag.
The service rendered was gallant,
brave and heroic. The country Is
rich; even ii 1t were poor, 1t could
not afford to be stingy with its de-
tenders. Throw the camp followers
out, but be liberal with the men who
did the fighting.

WHEN the forty-ninth congress
met, the democratic band began to
play. The tune was set to the mu-
sic of "Thc land robbers must CO."
The band is still playing, but the
presumption, timber culture and
desert land acts are still upon the
statutes. 1t Is now known that
1000, 900 acres have been unlawfully
taken up under the acts named. This
is not the worst of the matter, the
lands have been transferred and are
now In the hands of land sharks.
Then again, the figures show that a
large quantity of these lands have
fallen ir' Z the hands of Europeans,

snow Blockade.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 16.-The snow
blockade on the Central Pacific, which
it was expected would be raised this
morning, continues. No mails have
been received here from the east for
three days. The blockade would have
been raised had it not been for the col
lapse of snow sheds between Colfax
and Blue Canyon last night, which
permitted the snow to accumulate at
q new place. 1t also caused the de-
railment of eight engines which were
engaged in clearing the track. No
one, however, was seriously hurt by
the accident. A wrecking train has
been sent to the scene and Superin-
tcndent Fillmore expressed the opin-
ion that business would be resumed
during the night. Among the snow
bound passengers going east are j. w.

Wife of the Late Senator Logan.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I-"Senator Logan's

of great many people, said lady to-day dis
cnssing the domestic relations of the dead soldier
and statesman. II have been going to see Mrs

body visited them constantly. More old soldiers
and sailors begged and received assistance of the
Senator than any body else. He never refused
to do something for them. He would send them
down to the dining room K he did no more, and
babe them eat.
II remember when the Senator first conceived
the idea of buying home-not very many
months ago. Mrs Logan said if he was re elect
ed she hoped to have a place they could call
their own. They had little means to buy with
ana they would have to go out Ito the suburbs
where pronerty was cheap She began booking
around. For months she drove out in view to

castles Of John and herself as old people, re-
tired to quiet life, she used to say. For
months she took pride in showing everyb body
who called through the house. pointing out the
convenient and interesting crannies showing the
helrlooms, pictures, etc, and evidencing her
happiness and interest In her future. They had
lived SO long at hotels and boarding houses that
1t seemed like simply playing married life for
her. She used to tell me how she would have
her flowers arranged in the yard and how pretty
the adjacent places were growing
1t Is no wonder TO me that Mrs. Logan, after
recovering from her hysteria, on Monday morn
Ing, began to talk Of her home and the fear she
entertained of losing it. Often has she spoken
of the debt they owed on the house. 1t seemed
to annoy her greatly. She feared that some
misfortune would come to rob her of the place
as. next to the General and her children, it was
her dream. Naturally, she could not see how the
debt would now be liQuidated. and the thought of
having to give up her home, and probably retire
to Illinois, leaving the scenes of her happy and
busy life and the landmarks of interest to her,
came to her mind in all of her lucid moments
after the Generals death. But she will, as she
has been promised be provided for, and will
continue to live here. But she will never be
happy again The General was her first thought.
Everything he did was, to her eyes and mind,
perfect
